Kennedy Rapudo had grand celebrations in store for his son's eighth birthday. That, however, failed when the baby mama failed to drop off his son at the event.

Rapudo expressed his disappointment at not being able to spend time with his son on Instagram.

Kenyans began to wonder about the status of the former spouses' relationship as a result of the emotive message from the grieving father. 

He wrote;

"I was eagerly looking forward to celebrating my son's 8th birthday today! This would be the first long weekend to have him for a sleepover )after a lengthy court battle) Unfortunately, the moment was once again robbed from us because he was a no-show," read part of the message from Rapudo.

Rapudo played videos of the magnificently furnished balcony of his house, complete with a set table and a feast for his kid.He also mentioned the protracted custody struggle he and his baby mom had in court. Later, Rapudo went to Mwea with his fiancée Aamber Ray so she could organise a club.He was told by Amber that he was the ideal father.

"@kennedyrapudo You are a good father …… never forget that!😘❤️❤️"

Rapudo has two further kids from various baby mothers. As his son's whereabouts with another lady are still unknown, he spends a lot of time with his daughter.Kenyans commented on the issue online. While many others sympathised with her and said that sending her son to Amber Ray's residence was a step too far, some of them recommended the unidentified baby mama to allow Rapudo to co-parent their child.

Their opinions are expressed below:

mungesh_cecy..Mambo ya wazazi wawili siwezi ingilia,remember this is only Rapudo's side of story......

atieno_owuma...I would really love to sympathize with you...but then again let us be honest and sober your baby mama has time without no. Voiced her opinion on why she doesn't want your wife around your kid the least you could do is owe them respect for the sake of a blissful co-parenting, how do you throw a party at Amber's and expect them to show up jowa??? What if she equally wanted to be part of the celebration? The least you could have done is ironed your differences out without being sentimental listen to her and find a proper venue maybe just maybe things would have turned out differently. She stays with your son and she has a say on what is best for them

atriciafred...Things women do to punish an ex boyfriend when in reality they are punishing their own child. Sad

shiku854...If he was to be taken to another woman's house the mum has a right to say NO for reasons well known to her

naiserianmaiyo...I wish some women could understand how difficult it is to find a baby Daddy whom would support and love there kids dearly after separation

ngangaemmy...But in mom's defense, I think you should have held the party elsewhere but your house, just saying. Sorry about that thou.

_muthoni__v...Without knowing the other side of the story and from being a sole parent , i will say a mother has own reasons .Sometimes a mother’s intentions could be mistaken from malice but who knows ?All in all , wishing the young man a happy birthday
